false<![CDATA[The TAO of RUDY]]>http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1204506420m/2935082.jpg29350821Oh, for the love of DOG! The TAO of RUDY is a new children’s picture book that celebrates the wisdom of Rudy, a rescued dog who has a lot to say about life, friendships and making your way in the world.
Corinne Humphrey’s bold whimsical paintings accompany Rudy’s sage canine commentary: “It Doesn’t Matter What Kind of Dog You Are;” “You Can Create the Life You Want;” “Roll with It;” and “Find a Hero” are just some of this mixed-breed’s messages that appeal to children and adults alike.
After being rescued from an abusive situation, Rudy was adopted out and returned multiple times over a three-year period, bouncing in and out of foster homes due to his challenging doggie issues. Corinne found him at the Friends of Animal’s Furburbia adoption center in Park City, Utah. “Rudy is a diamond in the ‘ruff.’ He makes me laugh, stretches my patience, inspires me and brings me much joy,” says Corinne. “It makes me wonder, who rescued whom?”
Rudy hasn’t forgotten what it’s like to be on the streets—he’s donating a portion of the book’s proceeds to Summit County Friends of Animals, Intermountain Therapy Dogs and other charities. Check out Rudy’s website, www.thetaoofrudy.com , for a list of upcoming library/school visits and other events, or read his blog and send him an email—he loves pen pals!
